Description copied from interface: MsgListener

The general message event previewer for the object. Messages passed herein are in a pending state, and may be safely modified or rejected without fear that they might be in the middle of being executed. Messages passed herein may not necessarily be FOR or FROM this object, but will almost always represent events which want to happen in the same rom. This method should always always return true UNLESS this message needs to be canceled, in which case it is necessary to tell the mob initiating the event (CMMsg.source()) why it is being cancelled. Every game event goes through these methods.

Specified by:

Specified by:

executeMsg in interface MsgListener

Parameters:

myHost - either the initiator of the event, or the host of this object

msg - the CMMsg that needs to be executed

See Also:

CMMsg
